Man Utd boss Moyes: Mata improves our creativity

Manchester United boss David Moyes is delighted to have Juan Mata again available for their clash with West Bromwich Albion.

While the manager wants all areas of the team’s play to improve he feels the way the club’s record signing has settled in bodes well for an upturn in fortunes.

“I think the key is to improve all things,” said Moyes. “I want creativity and think the introduction of Juan Mata and his interplay with (Wayne) Rooney and Robin (van Persie) that I’ve seen recently has helped that creativity.

“I want to make sure when the creative players aren’t getting goals, or the chances aren’t coming, we keep the back door shut and don’t concede because then we have to chase the game.

“We need to get back to creating more opportunities than we have done. We’ve played quite well in games but not scored and taken our chances. Teams have maybe defended and counter-attacked and we’ve lost a goal and are having to chase the game a bit more.

ﾡﾰWhen we’ve tended to score first, we’ve gone on to get positive results. Our play at times, I think, has been good but I don’t think we’ve had the results and we need to get the results to improve, that’s for sure.”
